Pip Puzzle at #EVO2025!

Artwork is by the talented illustrator @310suzaki.bsky.social!

Another highlight from the tournament at #EVO2025. This time between Sefthuko and Bucky (top 1 and 2 respectively)!

#indiegames

Congrats to Machete24X who beat one of the devs at #EVO2025!

@pippuzzle.bsky.social top 3 is going down in the Indie Dev Gallery!!

#Evo2025

We are winding down day 1 of @evo.gg 2025.

The Indie Dev Gallery was absolutely bustling.

Congrats to all the players in the @resistance204x.bsky.social and @pippuzzle.bsky.social tournaments.

Thank you to everyone who came to our impromptu #EVO2025 tournament yesterday!

A big congratulations to our winner, Sefthuko, as well as Bucky (2nd) and Deboom (3rd)!

Fun thing I thought I'd share: I use GraphicsGale, and on Linux in tiling window managers it spawns an annoying black square (I think it's supposed to be a helper window).

Made a quick script to banish it to a hidden workspace. Wish I did this earlier.

Tick's Laser Lunge (Danger) positioning is now animated on the sprite sheet level. That way we have more fine control over how it moves and we don't have to mess around with beizer curves. (^:

#pixelart #indiegames

Wow, that's a compliment. Thank you!

Ooma's losing animation.

#pixelart #indiegames

Added a tank to Snowy Skirmish, pointing at the characters to subtly tell a bit of a story about the stage being how it is. Thinking about having the snow stack overtime as the atmospheres evolve.

#pixelart #indiegames

One of Spot's action skill animations. Spot can stop junk gems from coming in for a few turns, and different animations play depending on the amount being blocked.

#pixelart #indiegames

Update on the skill gem improvements.

#pixelart #indiegames

Polished up Spot's spindash-esque [Danger] move. Excuse the weird lag, GIFs are weird when it comes to short frames.

#pixelart #indiegames

Experimenting with new ideas for telling the player that your skill is charged. We noticed that often players forgot that they had their special abilities, so I added a horizontal flash.

#pixelart #indiegames

Idea for the damage indicator when you have more junk gems coming in.

#pixelart #indiegames

Some of Coltish Cockpit so far.

#pixelart #indiegames

Nope, unintentional!

Scorched Sacrosanct will be the next priority after Snowy Skirmish and Dystokia. I'm pretty happy with how it looks (though feel free to critique), so it just needs the extra atmospheres.

I'm thinking having the lava overflow over time.

#pixelart #indiegames

We're excited to announce that Pip Puzzle will be at EVO! Still kinda surreal to type that!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Some highlights from the recent Snowy Skirmish polishing. I'm probably going to add more machinery to it. It's a subtle reference to the stage that comes after this one in the original game.
#pixelart #indiegames

Polishing up Dystokia.
#pixelart #indiegames

Polishing up Snowy Skirmish. I'm tempted to put a huge tank in the middle.

#pixelart #indiegames

This move always felt great if you managed to pull it off. Nice work.

Working on a big sign for Dystokia!
#pixelart #indiegames

Working on smear frames for Pip's netting ability!
#pixelart #indiegames

Lune's action skill animation [Monochromia].
WIP!

#pixelart #indiedev

Will be on the Video Ditch podcast tomorrow (Sunday), 2pm PT
/ 6pm ET!

Tick's Lunge Laser move [Danger]. Polished it up a bit.
